The angle elevation from point B to the top of a hill is 59°. If point B is 450 feet from the base of the hill, how high is the hill?

Answer:
749 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a right-angle triangle so you can use trig ratios
750 feet
tan(59) = opposite/adjacent
tan(59l = X/450
X = 450×tan(59)
X = 748.9 ft
X = 749 ft (correct to 3 sf)
